I want to make a 114060 using this arf as base. Does anybody know if there is any bp no date dial that fits on 2824 movement?

I made one, with gen dial. I had to cut off the feet on gen dial....bp dial should fit no probs if you do the same, unless you get one with the same movement 2824 in which I don’t know if they made one.
Oh, didn’t know. I saw many pictures and never took a look at that. Does it happen in all the ARF’s?

That explains how good it looks xD
and best rep 114060 dial to use on 2824 movement?
i do not know if the bp 2836 is valid or not. I guess no
Yep it’s the stem is a little too long, I have seen some Gen with this gap tho.

Here’s one from the Rolex forums, user said the crown was tight and was complaining how it’s seated out from the case.

It's suppose to have a little gap, it was designed to do that yes. The gaps though are not as big as the ARF gaps, which in some cases Ive seen are very bad. It's comparing apples to oranges though if you ask me. When you see issues with Rolex's or flaws, it's like less than 1% of the million of watches they make per year. Most of them are spot on.

just received my QCs. Is the cyclops blurry? The bottom of the cyclops looks cracked. And the part above the 50 marker on the bezel looks cracked. Are all the QCs like that? Can anyone advise?

So let me pick your guys' brains for a minute.... I got a gen Hulk bezel with insert on the 'bay a couple weeks ago. Not cheap, but hard as heck to come by (it was jeweler-salvaged from a damaged Rolex). About 10 scallops on one area of the bezel are damaged, the metal was scraped. JonJ is going to smooth that out for me and it should be much less noticeable when he's done....
Now, I have a Hulk with an ARF bracelet, V7 case, and gen everything else (including a gen 3135 movement!) excepting the dial/insert/bezel. After Jon fixes it, I am going to have the gen bezel and insert put on, which will the make it all gen except for the bracelet, case and dial. A kind fellow member has a BP dial I will put on the watch to replace the V7 dial.
Here's my question: Would it be look gen-like to use the existing V7 case, or to switch all to a VRF 3135 case? (I already have the watch). I keep hearing how gen-like the VRF 3135 case is.
Downside is that this involves switching all to another case, and of course the very nice ARF bracelet will not fit on the VRF case.
I'm tempted to just keep all the way it is, have Mike put the gen bezel/insert and BP dial on the existing V7, maybe have JonJ do what he can to mod the case to gen (if it even needs it) and call it a day...

v7 case is better than vrf case. keep it the way you have it..VRF is the best out of box but Noob still has closest case to gen...
